Edmund l.. ZalinskI, Inventor OF The
Dynamite Gun.

An echo comes from the other side Of
the Atlantic Ocean of the applause given
on this side when, q shorttim ago, one
shot from the gun invented by Lieuten-
ant Zalinski practically demolished a
condemned vessel lying mile and a
quarter from the place where the piece
was fired. The scene OF this great eX-
pertinent was New York harbor, and
was made in the presence of Secretary
Whitney, General Schofeld, and a
large number of distinguished army
and naval officers. The official repre-
sentatives of the greatest naval power in
the world, the United Kingdom, have re-
ported favorably on the gun-anOther
triumph OF American ingenuity. If we
haven't the navy with which to fight the
great fleets of Europe, we have, in the
invention of Lieutenant Zalinski, wea-
pom that could disable and keep at a
distance feet of the most formidable
iroDclads ahoat.
The inventor of this terrible thing was
born of Polish parents in Poland in the
neighborhood OF forty years ago. His

various appointments were rendered
him from time to time, all of which he
refused to accept.
The first position inwhich he attracted
the attention of the whole country was
that of counsel for the United States in
the tribunal of arbitration which met at
Geneva in 1S7l-'72. He was associated
in this delicate negotiation with Caleb
Cushing and William NJ. Evarts. Their
tact and good judgment largely served to
terminate the difficulty arising out of
our civil war between the United States
and the United Kingdom. The year
after his return home, in 1873, he pre-
sided over the Constitutional Convention
OF Ohio
He was appointed to his present posi-
ton by President Grant on the 21st Of
January, 1874, as the successor of Chief
Justice Chase. As chief justice ne re-
ceiyes a salary of $40, 800 year.

OF slavery
:" In the days of chattel slavery an

the expense of his food, clothing, shell

The Caffarel scandal in France bears
strong resemblance TO one which in 1909
caused even more excitement in Eng
land. A Mrs. Clarke, who admittedly
stood very high in the favor Of the Duke
OF York, George Ills favorite son, then
commander-in-chief, had obtained for
officers in the army commissions, promo
tons, &C., and in February Of that year
a parliamentary inquiry, at the instance
OF Colonel Wardle, NJ. p, began, and on
the 9TH Of February Mrs. Clarke was ex-
amined at the bar OF the House. On
the 18th Of March the inquiry closed,
and the Duke, although acquitted Of
actual completely. resigned in Difference
to the public feeling the revelations had
produced. In 1871 he was reinstated in
Office. Mrs. Clarke's portrait is con-
spicuous in ell the illustrated periodicals
OF the period alluded to.
